IDE Commands: For Compiling and Executing C Program

IDE Commands

ØProgram written in C language can be run using Command Prompt, we can run using MS-DOS, Nowdays every windows operating system having inbuilt Command Prompt.

Ø We are going to use following tools for running our C program:

1.Window’s Command Prompt and

2.Turbo C/C++ (TC) Compiler.

Ø In order to run C program we must save or copy C program inside bin folder of TC software having path (Eg. C:/TC/bin/Hello.c) otherwise we are not able to run C program.

ØYou can create your own directory or folder using following commands.

C:\Users\sudam>D:

D:\>cd  My Programs

D:\My Programs

Ø In above example cd is change directory command as well as change drive command. My Programs is my current changed directory which is created on (D:\ ) drive and it contains my all C Programs.

ØSuppose we have saved hello.c program inside “My Programs” folder or directory.

Ø Then we can use following command to compile hello.c

D:\My Programs>tcc hello.c

Ø After compilation its time to run c program,you just type program name and hit enter,you will get output on the console window.

D:\C Programs~1>hello

Hello World

Note::In case of Linux operating system for 

compiling and running program use following steps:
